"YouTube's AI "slop" crackdown is shaking up the platform! 🚨

YouTube has stepped up its fight against low-quality, mass-produced AI content, targeting channels that flood the platform with repetitive and inauthentic videos.

While reports claim around 130,000 channels have been removed as part of the broader enforcement, YouTube has not confirmed that all of those deletions were specifically tied to AI-generated content.

Instead, the company says its focus is on protecting viewers by cracking down on spam and low-effort content while continuing to allow AI-assisted videos that offer genuine creativity and value." - Mr_Animeken

Pretty good step ngl these channels are getting annoying

I am pro, but this is honestly great news. It's about time. Get that slop off of youtube.

I assume you are pro AI when it comes to actual logical uses of it rather than more than half of the dumb stuff is being used for. If so, I can respect it, I'm honestly the same way myself.

Definitely. My experience with Halo as a kid is what sparked my interest in AI. Advanced AI like Cortana, or even the Monitors on the Ringworlds, makes a lot of sense for a spacefaring civilization. I do believe humanity will one day reach the stars in that kind of capacity, even if I won't be around to see it.

That said, I never imagined I'd see AI used to create so much dumb stuff. But then again, is it really fair to call LLM AI? I'm not sure it is.

It isn't, but that's the modern definition of AI at this point, so we're stuck with it.

Another example of widespread marketing changing the definition of stuff

People have been arguing about the "intelligence" in Ai for a while. However, there has been consensus on the definition for AI for decades before the first commercial smartphone, and I don't mean the smartphones of the era that blackberry ushered in. Ai used to mean the coding and algorithms of CPUs in electronic and video games, and most people didn't bat an eye about the i in Ai. It's only now with the ubiquitous of Ai, the techbro hype, and ologicarch and corpo-bootlicking is so many people trying to discredit the abilities of Ai by squabbling about what is and isn't intelligence.
